BBQ catering for Northbourne
BBQ catering in Northbourne, cooked on site
Hosting a barbecue usually means shopping, prepping, cooking and clearing. A catered barbecue takes all of that off your hands, so you can enjoy your own event. Popular choices include coleslaw, BBQ ribs and beef brisket, and typical bookings are for fundraising barbecues and team days and staff summer parties.
A barbecue in the countryside near Northbourne makes a lovely summer party. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather, and think about lighting if it runs late. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
We bring everything we need to cook and serve, so there’s no need to borrow a grill.
Sides turn a barbecue into a proper meal.

Northbourne questions
Is Northbourne close to London?
About 65 miles from central London.
Which station is closest to Northbourne?
Walmer station, about 2.2 miles south-east of the centre.
What does the venue need to provide?
A level, open spot outdoors for the grill, with room for a serving table and a way in for our equipment. Tell us what’s available on site and we will confirm the rest when we quote.
Can we have a barbecue in winter?
We cook under cover, so the season does not stop us. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.
What if it rains?
We cook under cover, so rain is not a problem for the food. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.
Is the food cooked safely?
Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart, following Food Standards Agency advice.
Is the meat halal?
No. If guests need halal, arrange that separately.
Do you cook the barbecue on site?
Yes, on site at your venue in Northbourne. We need a level, open area outdoors with room for the grill and a serving table.
For event organisers in Northbourne

What the cooking area needs
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
